I have Windows 10 on my PC and over the last 3-4 months, I've had to repeatedly re-sync time and date settings. It's set on auto, but continues to display old time and date, requiring reset. What's causing and how can I fix it?

    Hello,

    You can follow the step to sync your time with internet ntp server:

    Open the Control Panel.

    Click on Clock and Region.

    Select Date and Time.

    Go to the Internet Time tab.

    Click on Change settings.

    Check the box for Synchronize with an Internet time server.

    Choose a server from the drop-down menu (e.g., time.windows.com).

    Click Update now.

    You can also run this command in cmd (run as admin):

    w32tm /resync

    If it doesn't work for you, ask your system administrator if you have a internal ntp server.
